The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A quiet, solitary boat journey across a strange sea, weighted by absence and unanswered questions.

What players say

Players compare it to Outer Wilds and praise its dense, multilayered story. The sailing is technical and exploration-driven, but some find the puzzles difficult and the controls a bit janky. A creepy, eerie atmosphere runs through the search for lore and multiple endings.
